Arkayde the Sage, born and raised in Maryland, initiated her musical journey in 2008, delving into beatmaking with a demo version of FL Studio (formerly Fruity Loops). In 2010, she temporarily paused her music pursuits to prioritize education and navigate the responsibilities of being a young single teen mother, driven by a commitment to personal growth. After a 9-year hiatus, Arkayde reignited her passion for beatmaking. The pivotal moment came with the purchase of an iPad equipped with GarageBand, supporting her outside entrepreneurial endeavors as a stay-at-home mom, wife, and caregiver. This marked a significant turning point, leading her back to the music scene with a newfound determination and refined skill set. Now based in Hampton Roads, Virginia, Arkayde is a sought-after producer known for groundbreaking compositions, notably in her debut joint album, Dark Wizard, with Kilx Jxnes. Her music, described as "hood with a touch of class," seamlessly blends hip-hop, trap, and ambient elements, inviting listeners into a world of self-reflection. Balancing family life and freelancing as a digital specialist, Arkayde the Sage continues to leave an indelible mark on the contemporary music landscape. Her resilience and commitment shine through, making her a visionary artist with a unique journey and a captivating sound.
